This is kind of kludgey; I'm sure someone else can do better, but if the
users are already executing some command file (script) to get them
started, you could try something like the following.
set port 1
if failure {
echo unable to open COM1 - perhaps another kermit is using it
pause 5 ; allow time to read message
quit 1
}
